This Year's Model Updates:

The 2004 Ford Escape remains largely unchanged although the price has been lowered on the plush Limited model and certain appearance packages are now available on lower trim levels which, in effect, reduce the final price. Also, Chrome Yellow is no longer a color choice. To eliminate confusion, trim levels and option packages have been consolidated.

Pros:
  • Powerful V6, large cargo capacity, comfortable interior, carlike handling.
Cons:
  • Weak standard four-cylinder engine, bland interior design, small gas tank size limits range.

  • Great Truck - 2004 Ford Escape
    By -

    The drive is wonderful. It has plenty of power to get you in and out of tight spot for highway driving, The feel in the steering is terrific, as it truly does ride more like a car than most other SUVs. There is plenty of interior room for most anything you need to do. The suspension is outstanding. It gives you great value for your money.

    Im 410" and wanted an SUV, but didnt want to climb a mountain to get in and out. I love my escape. Lots of power with the 6 cylinder, great highway milage. With the 16" tires, it looks more rugged than the average compact SUV. I am a very happy Soccer Mom.

    I had an Explorer before I traded it in for this Escape. I looked at all the smaller SUVs.... This one handled better than all the others and after putting over a 1,000 miles on it in a month, Im glad I bought it. It truly is a pleasure to drive and handles like a charm. I got the price I wanted for my trade- in AND for my new Escape. Just do your homework on the vehicle, then stick to your guns.

    I traded in an Expedition for my Escape. It drives like a sports car. Very responsive. Great turning radius and tight streering. Solid center of balance. Great car.

    I moved up from a Suzuki Side Kick. I just love my Ford Escape! It is so easy to drive and has "get up and go". My husband has a Ford F150 4x4 and he loves driving my Scape too. The Escape gets very good gas mileage.

  • Nice car! - 2004 Ford Escape
    By -

    Based on the experiences shared by other Ford Escape owners vis-a-vis the Honda CR-V, Toyota RAV4, Suzuki Vitara, etc., I recently bought an Escape. Alas, I am happy to have decided to get one! Driving one proved to be an experience and I am sure that with the service and parts availabilty support provided by the local dealership network, maintaining this wont be a problem. I had such a terrible experience with my Honda car as spare parts and service is controlled or even manipulated by their local dealership here. My maintenanve costs did not do justice to my owning said Honda and good that I was able to dispose of it fast.

  • Back to Domestic - 2004 Ford Escape
    By -

    After researching suvs for 6 months I have purchased a Ford Escape, this truck is a please to drive. I looked at Mitsubishi, Toyota, Nissan and Honda. While they may carry a high resale value, they also carry a much higher price. After all is said and done this truck, to me, is the best value in the market. The size is perfect, the performance great, and the ride, surprisingly good. I had this truck out in a snow storm and it performed great, not one slip or slid, it was never even in four wheel drive. I have driven import vehicles for the past 11 years but, Im glad to be back in a domestic vehicle.
